Hey, Jeremiah. Yeah, you're pretty much right. The chapter itself has been ready since before X-mas but I've been fiddling
with the opening credits and closing bumper to provide something special for Season 2. If it's not up within the next few days
then expect another delay (going to Scotland!) and look for it towards end of the 1st week of Feb.

One cool thing I noticed while putting Part 7 together is an on-screen reference to my favourite band, The Who!

Found this. Artist unknown:

Nice! So cool, thanks for this and thanks for the videos. As someone who never watched the show when it came out and just finished the whole series on DVD, it's nice to see the bookend segments.

When creating a title card for "Part 2", I made an educated guess for the location and chose New York City. As it turns out, the guess was (partially) correct. According to the script for "London, May 1916", the restaurant where he meets up with Old Vicky is in New York City!

Another correct guess was about Indy's lunch partner being an accountant. In the script's list of characters, he is: "Bob Traynor, his accountant".

Best of all is finally being able to know the accountant's indecipherable, whispering words.
Here's what I posted 6 years ago:

"When the IRS starts making threats, you have to take them seriously!
Now, what they find hard to believe is that you can still manage, at your age,
to rack up the same standard of expenses...(something)...now...(something)
...when you were in your prime!"

Fairy stories + large expenses = Old Indy is still at it!

Here's the dialogue excerpt from the script. (Note the line about archaeology):

Bob Traynor (lowering his voice)
Okay. Right. I know this isn't your favourite subject, but when the I.R.S. starts making threats you have to take them seriously. Archaeology was not a profession they ever fully understood, and I had a hard time explaining your expenses before, but they were obliged to accept them, however eccentric they seemed - and were! What they find hard to believe is that you still manage, at your age, to clock up the same standard of expenses which they had trouble in accepting when you were in your prime. It might help if you would occasionally produce a receipt or a voucher -"

===
So what would Old Indy being spending large amounts of unaccountable money on? Weekend getaways with private escorts? What is the old coot up to in his later days?

Up until Part 11, to be precise, but everything else is spot-on. Nicely done, bud.

Your list is correct. I probably should've presented the uploads differently but, hey, what's Indy without a good puzzle to solve, eh?

FOR COMPLETISTS:
In 2011, a kind YouTube soul named bestbuyextras221 graciously uploaded the full opening of the Austria bookends because of the missing 15 secs. He even titled it as "Part 4A" to follow my chapters (which was a pretty cool thing to do). So if you want to see every single second, his video is necessary:

My favourite thing about those 15 secs is that Old Indy mentions his adventure in the Congo (the week right after that very episode). So those sets of bookends followed each other better than I thought!

The guy who played the trick-or-treating, werewolf kid in the "Transylvania" bookends sent me a quick note on YouTube. His name is Darwin Brandis and he's a Canadian from Toronto (just like George Hall was). He had never seen the episode until now!

He also said that the vampire trick-or-treater was, Lee Norris, from the long-running TV series, "One Tree Hill". (By process of elimination, this means that the pumpkin kid was, Grady Bowman, who played 'Fat Boy' in "Forrest Gump".)

Still curious about your placement and identity of the guests at Thanksgiving.

Here's my go at it:
Assuming the table holds 12 guests (5 on each side, 2 at each end), starting on Old Indy's side of the table and moving around the table left to right , I have the guests (with their ages /approx ages) including:

the Mother-in-Law of Indy's daughter(70ish)
Caroline Jones (35--Indy's granddaughter / Mutt's daughter)
Harry (5--great grandchild, son of Caroline)
Old Indy (94)
Annie Jones (7--great grandchild, daughter of Caroline)
Head of the Table = Susan Jones (35--Indy's daughter with Marion)
"Spike" (16--Mark,grandson, son of Susan)
Lucy (11--granddaughter, daughter of Susan)
3 other people (one of which could be Mutt)
and at the other head of the table, Susan's husband (40--Indy's son-in-law)

The ages are based on sociological factors, actors' real ages and the logic of an inclusive timeline.

Caroline Jones, Annie Jones and Harry Jones are all named in the credits for the episode.
Susan Daphne Jones is named for the actress portraying her.
Mark "Spike" Jones is named for the actor portraying him.
Lucy's name is mentioned in "Ireland 1916" and has to be in Elementary school to still be having a "grandparents tea"
Susan and her husband would be at the heads of the table
Since it's a family event, Susan's husband's elderly mother would be at the end of the table, next to her son.
